Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 1861. Alexander Bain, Scottish philosopher and educationalist, was an early proponent of scientific psychology. Along with his friend, John Stuart Mill, Bain was a major proponent of the British school of empiricism: a theory which based all knowledge on basic sensory experiences and not on introspection. Bain's philosophical and scientific writings were completed during his twenty years as a professor at Aberdeen. The Study of Character is an interesting critique of phrenology. Contents: Theories of Character; Claims of Phrenology; The Propensities According to Phrenology; The Sentiments According to Phrenology; The Intellectual Faculties According to Phrenology; The Omissions of Phrenology; Natural, or Spontaneous Activity; The Emotional Temperament; Special Emotions, or Tastes; Intellect in General; Intellect for Good and Evil-Prudence; Intellectual Element of Disinterestedness-Sympathy; Special Intellectual Endowments; Talent; and Genius.

Blind-stamped brown cloth covers clean, corners rubbed, sp.ends relaid, sm.label ghost to bottom. Despite faults a very acceptable copy of this scarce early Bain work which was not well received at the time, not least due to his sympathies towards phrenology which had already ceased to be taken seriously. I don't think he ever returned to it.…
